Texas has the biggest and best State Fair in the whole country, but it’s also really expensive, which is why we opted not to go this year.

We had planned to go yesterday. The girls were out of school for Columbus Day and had been given free tickets, and I took the day off from work. But ultimately we decided to go to Six Flags instead. We still have season passes, so it didn’t cost anything to get in. It was also a lot less crowded than the Fair, and we could ride as many rides as we wanted without having to buy additional tickets.

OK, so we didn’t get to experience Big Tex, the Texas Star Ferris wheel, or chicken-fried bacon. But we had a lot of fun nevertheless.

We’ll try for the State Fair next year when we can save up for it and maybe go on a less-crowded weekday.
